Trauma as the Heart’s Mirror of the Wounded Earth and the Joy of its Healing Potential

In this two day conference, we will bring together the continuation of the work of the conferences over the last 10 years with an open invitation to all the new initiatives, to budding as well as  little known, to smaller biodynamic growers, allotments, gardens, city or rooftop gardens, plots or farms, beekeepers etc. in order to create a living framework and platform for people who may otherwise be fairly isolated.

Often out of acute suffering, something new is born; many new initiatives have sprouted out of social and healing needs: Emma Houldsworth from Plot 22, Kirsten Hartvig from the Emerson Botanical Gardens, Udo from the Emerson estate, Manuela Manuela Murray and Wendy Cook from Devon, Peter Brinch from Forest Row with his long experience of seed growing, Arthur McDonald from the Gravetye Estate, Simon Blaxland-de Lange from Hoathly Hill Paddock gardens and many others have been asked to come and share their work and we hope many others will be able to come and meet and inspire each other.

Ricardo Pereira (RMET), Peter Brown (Tablehurst Community Farm), Hartwig Ehlers (Weide Hardebeck/Germany) and Jon Geelmuyden (North of Sweden) will continue with the work they have built up together over the last few ACESTA conferences on developing new social forms and ideas, based on a renewed understanding of three-folding, in order to nourish, protect, develop and safeguard our work 100 years after the lectures that Rudolf Steiner gave in Koberwitz.  Newcomers welcome.

Note: Join us for conference which runs on 19-20 February, details can be found here.
